“…Devappa et al (2010) The soluble fraction in JSC and RSC was similar to values reported by Martín et al (2010), while the hemicellulose content was lower for seed cakes of Neem, Moringa, Trisperma and Ricinus (from 3 to 68 g/kg dry seed cake). The high hemicellulose and cellulose content of RSC was similar to that found in palm kernel and olive and due to the husks contained in the cake (Ramachandran et al 2007). Ricin was not detected in the defated RSC.…”

“…As such, large amounts of the organic N in the seed cake will become available as nutrient in soil quickly (Müller et al 2006, Ramachandran et al 2007. The difference in N mineralized between the two seed cakes might be due to different factors.…”

“…After the extraction of seeds for oil, an organic-rich waste product remains that could easily be applied to degraded soil (Ramachandran et al 2007). However, J. curcas seed cake (JSC) contains organic components, such as phorbol esters, that might inhibit plant growth and biological functioning of the soil (Goel et al 2007).…”

“…India is the world's largest producer of castor seed with an annual production of 590 × 10 6 kg and approximately 400 × 10 6 kg castor seed cake (RSC) remains after extraction of the oil (Lima et al 2011). The RSC is rich in N, so it could also easily be used as organic fertilizer (Ramachandran et al 2007), but might contain toxic compounds, e.g. ricin and ricinine, which might limit its use in agricultural practices (Anandan et al 2005).…”

Extraction of oils from castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) and Jatropha curcas L. to produce biofuel is set to increase. The produced seed cake could be applied to soil as it is nutrient rich, but might affect soil functioning. Seven soils from Chiapas, México, were amended with seed cake of both plants while CO 2 , CH 4 and N 2 O emissions and mineral N concentrations were monitored in an aerobic incubation. The concentration of phorbol esters in the J. curcas seed cake (JSC) was 0.993 mg/g while no ricin was detected in the R. communis seed cake (RSC). Application of JSC increased CO 2 emission 2.5-times, N 2 O 12.6-times and CH 4 18.4-times compared to the unamended soil, while RSC CO 2 emission 2.1-times, N 2 O 21.3-times and CH 4 2.3-times. On average, 66% of the 88 mg organic N added with JSC was mineralized and 83% of the 101 mg organic N of the RSC within 56 days. It was found that J. curcas and castor bean seed cake increased CO 2 , CH 4 and N 2 O emission and mineral N in soil, without inhibiting soil microbial activity.
